LONDON (AFP) - Britain's Prince William has vowed his son will follow in his father's footsteps by becoming an Aston Villa fan.
William, second in line to the British throne behind his father, Prince Charles, said he was keen to ensure the recently christened Prince George was present the next time Aston Villa defeated Manchester United.
"When (Aston) Villa thrash Man U at Villa Park, my son will be there," said William in a video message released ahead of the Football Association's (FA) 150th anniversary gala dinner in London on Saturday.
William, who is the president of the FA, will make the opening address at the dinner where the global guest list will include Sepp Blatter, president of football's world governing body Fifa and his Uefa counterpart Michel Platini, the former France midfielder.
